Seth Godin: “If your non-profit isn’t acting with as much energy and guts as it takes to get funded in Silicon Valley or featured on Digg, then you’re failing in your duty to make change.”

This applies, really, not only to non-profits, but any form of public service as well. If you’re not moving forward to meet the needs of your clients, and anticipating what they’ll need next, then you’re not doing enough.
